but not really
it’s what my father’s side
calls me cause I was born
first
and on this day
I’m only three months
from leaving this place behind
they tell me there’s
a big world out there
and they tell me
there’s so much I can do
and I know nothing
but this city
but my father
but these schools
where I’ve always
been one of few specks
of dingy brown
in a sea of perfect white
but I know the bible
and I know how to do
the right things
so how hard could college
really be
